Im in the infancy of my crackberry addiction but I feel it getting worse. I txt more now with this phone than all my previous phones combined.

She's not a Crackberry addict. She didn't even have a BB.

I am an addict....so what?

As a mother of five, I can see the author's point, but I find it easy to ignore the vibrating call of my email notifier during the evening.

Now, the chime of a new text message is tougher for me to dismiss and deal with tomorrow. Those end up being more fun than a dry old business-y email anyway.

I use my BB at my kids functions (11 yr old), and he thinks it's cool. He can't wait to get one (get a job). lol

I think that my Crackberry addiction is just in its infancy since I have had it less than a year. I lost my Pearl on a Friday and it was the very next day when I got my replacement device. Holy cow folks, I was not sure I could have survived a full 48 hours without it. hahahahahaha

Seriously though I use my Pearl for both work and personal use. I love the ability of getting my work email and personal email on one device and not being tied down to a computer in order to send or receive it.

I have had to train myself to make sure NOT to use my Pearl when I am having a personal conversation with someone. I think that there are some ettiquette rules that need to apply or I might appear to be rude.

My wife will have to pry my Blackberry from my cold, dead hands.

I'm sorry, but I need my email regardless of my location. 'nuff said.

LOL, and THIS is the joy of having a child who is grown and out of the house--no one to bug me about my "addiction"!
